AC Milan thrash Bayern 4-0 in China

AC Milan looked the more dangerous early on and opened the scoring in the 13th minute when a Ricardo Rodriguez cutback found its way to Franck Kessie, who drilled the ball home from the edge of the box.

AC Milan’s big summer signing Leonardo Bonucci‏ enjoyed a winning debut for his new club on Saturday as the Italians thrashed Bayern Munich 4-0 in a preseason game in China.

The centre-back moved from Juventus for a fee of 40 million euro ($45 million) last week and came on as second-half substitute in front of nearly 40,000 fans in steamy Shenzhen.

AC Milan looked the more dangerous early on and opened the scoring in the 13th minute when a Ricardo Rodriguez cutback found its way to Franck Kessie, who drilled the ball home from the edge of the box.

Milan doubled their lead in the 24th minute with Rodriguez a 17 million euro signing from Wolfsburg last month — again the architect.
